About this transfer

If your onward travel includes catching a train, your destination stays on the Asian side of Istanbul in Kadıköy. Reserving a private Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Söğütlüçeşme YHT Yüksek Hızlı Tren İstasyonu transfer connects your flight directly with the railway network. We meet you outside the terminal doors and drive the 35 kilometres along Anadolu Otoyolu without unnecessary stops along the way.

Under regular road conditions, our vehicle completes the journey in about 36 minutes. We monitor your flight schedule for any delays, greet you with a name board and help carry your bags. Choosing our vehicle gives you a direct route to the station doors without having to haul heavy luggage across city pavements and stairs.

Public transport involves taking the M4 metro line from the terminal and changing to the Marmaray railway line at Ayrılık Çeşmesi. Navigating that combined rail route takes roughly 69 minutes alongside the extra walking required between connecting platforms. The SG-1 airport shuttle bus offers another alternative, though its final stop leaves you more than a kilometre away in central Kadıköy.

Public transit options and shuttle buses charge individual fares per traveller, which accumulates quickly for families or small groups. Our service operates at a single fixed rate from €41 for the vehicle regardless of how many passengers travel together. Our driver takes you right to the entrance so you can reach your departure platform without delay.
